With the debt ceiling fight in the rear-view mirror, the 2024 presidential race is beginning to heat up. Former Vice President Mike Pence and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie are both probably jumping in the race this week.
Meanwhile, in Iowa, former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov Ron DeSantis are taking shots at one another, while former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), and others try to make their cases.
Where does this leave us? We'll also talk about events in Israel, where a rogue Egyptian policeman appears killed three Israeli soldiers, and the Netanyahu government faces the task of judicial reform. Author Abigail Shrier was also confronted by left-wing radicals as she tried to present her book, "Irreversible Damage," in Tel Aviv. The world lost pro-Israel journalist Claudia Rossett. And President Biden rolled out an antisemitism "strategy" -- will it work?
There's also a new organization, founded by Jewish conservatives, to confront both George Soros -- and the idea that criticizing Soros is antisemitic. So, in a week that marks the anniversary of D-Day and the Six-day War... join us!
Special guests:
Emma-Jo Morris - Breitbart News political editor, on the 2024 race
Amanda House - retiring Breitbart News video editor, on motherhood

The story of Noah is familiar; the details, less so.
Noah is often seen as an ambivalent figure. He was righteous -- but only for his generation. What was his deficiency?
One answer suggests itself: knowing that the world was about to be flooded, he built an Ark for the animals and for his own family -- but did not try to save anyone else or to convince them to repent and change their ways (the prophet Jonah, later, would share that reluctance).
Abraham, later, would set himself apart by arguing with God -- with the Lord Himself! -- against the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, saying that they should be saved if there were enough righteous people to be found (there were not).
Still, Noah was good enough -- and sometimes, that really is sufficient to save the world. We don't need heroes every time -- just ordinary decency.
Hi all -- as I noted last month, I'm going to be closing down my Locals page, at least for tips and subscriptions -- I may keep the page up and the posts as well, but I'm no longer going to be accepting any kind of payment.
Look for cancelation in the very near future. Thank you for your support!
An interesting weekend -- one of the last of Daylight Savings Time -- in which there is much to celebrate, much to contemplate, and a bit to worry about.
The Gaza peace deal is shaky, but holding, after the living hostages returned; the shutdown is still going on, with no end in sight; the China trade war is heating up; and the confrontation with Venezuela continues to escalate.
The "No Kings" protest was a dud, despite the media's attempt to inflate it. What I find fascinating is that the Democrats have basically stolen the rhetoric and the imagery of the Tea Party protests, circa 2009. They claim they are defending the Constitution -- just like the Tea Party did.
On the one hand, this is good. How wonderful to have a political system in which both sides, bitterly opposed though they are, articulate differences through the Constitution -- and not, as in so many other countries, outside it.
On the other, this is sheer hypocrisy for the Democrats. Not only did they malign the Tea Party as ...
